Neui Ltettuee, Sunset." 



A head Lettuce of splendid quality, with 

 characteristics that commend it to all. It 

 forms large, solid heads of a rich golden yel- 

 low, a shade ot color hitherto unknown in 

 this class of Lettuce. It 6tands very long 

 before going to seed, and is al?o an excellent 

 keeper after being cut, a quality which will 

 make it a desirable sort for shipping pur- 

 poses as well as for private use. We gave 

 the Sunset Lettuce a very thorough trial last 

 season and we found it to be one of the best 

 heat-resisting lettuces that we had ever seen. 

 In fact, the Big Boston and Sunset were in 

 gonil condition on our trial grounds when all 

 other varieties were passed. Price. 15 cts. pet" 

 pki.. 50 cts. per oz., $1.50 per y A lb., $4.00 lb. 



Celery, "Giant Pascal." 



This variety is a selection from the New Golden Self-blanch in£ 

 Celery which has become so popular in the last few years ; it par* 

 takes of the best qualities of that variety, but is much larger and a 

 better keeper It is of a tine, nutty flavor, being entirely free from 

 any bitter taste. It grows about two feet high ; the stalks are very 

 broad, thick and crisp, and entirely 6truigless; the width and thick- 

 ness of the stalks are distinctive features of this variety. It bleaches 

 with but slight "earthing up," and very quickly, usually in five or six 

 days. Likely to prove a most valuable variety for both second early 

 and midwinter use. (See cut.) 10 cts. per pkt., 50 cts. per oz., $1.25 

 per y± lb., $1.50 per lb. 



Heai Tomato, "Table Queen." 



This is the great premium variety which we offered in 1890, not a 

 single packet of which was sold, but every one of the fifty thousand 

 «50,000) packets sent out went as a premium on orders for other seeds. 

 Our idea In making this unique distribution was to introduce this 

 superb variety into general use at once, and that this object was 

 attained, the enormous Dumber of packets disposed of plainly tells. 

 We doubt if any novelty that we have ever introduced has given more 

 general satisfaction, or has caused us to receive so many flattering 

 letters from all sections of the country. The "Table Queen" Tomato 

 is the largest and heaviest smooth Tomato ever offered, being as largo 

 as the Mikado, but perfectly smooth and round. For slicing It Is the 

 Tomato "PAR EXCELLENCE," as it is wonderfully solid and 

 contains comparatively few seeds. The color of the " Table Queen" 

 is a rich shade of crimson, and of a most agreeable acid flavor. It Is 

 undoubtedly the mo6t satisfactory Tomato for private gardens that 

 has been sent out in many years. Price, 15 cts. per pkt., 75 cts. per 

 oz., $2.50 per y± lb., $8.00 per lb.
